    The extensive salary cap report by Lord Myners accessed Companies House records to learn that a combined total of nearly £89million was collectively lost by the Premiership clubs in 2017 and 2018.

    Interesting to read what Slade has to say about the difference between Top 14 and Super Rugby.

    'You can play up to 32 games a year and it's just mental': Colin Slade explains why the Top 14 is on a completely different level to Super Rugby

    'You can play up to 32 games a year and it's just mental': Colin Slade explains why the Top 14 is on a completely different level to Super Rugby

    Exclusive: Colin Slade spent almost half a decade slogging it out in the turgid conditions of France's Top 14 and will now turn his attention to Japan. What's prompted the move for the World Cup-winning former All Black?

    @Stargazer

    Starts off with a great quote: “I wasn’t there before we arrived”. Classic! Interesting read though.

    @Bones

    Some highlights. Seen him play a few times at hooker for Wellington College (not that one) and backrow for London Irish. Plays like the highlights. Big hits and some abrasive carrying in the tight, but generally unflashy. Not sure about his drop goal game.

    Headline should read: ZInzan Brooke fails as a father.

    @Margin_Walker cheers. Solid looking player

    I have to say highlight reels are starting to have a different meaning. Some of the "highlights" of him running the ball up with the effectiveness of Owen Franks could possibly be removed.

    Fixed that for you.

    I don't think the All Blacks are missing out too much here. Not much about him screams future superstar at the moment and he's not troubled the England age grade selectors so far. You never know though.

    @Bones Meh, Ben must have toned down his epic carrying game when he came north then. I never saw any of those half a metres.

    The rumours were true. Isaia Toeava has signed with Toulon for one season.

    @Stargazer Is he still shit do you know? Or did he massively improve after leaving NZ?

    Naturally, I assume he's still injured.
